Two masks versus vaccinated freedom

When it comes to countering COVID-19, the public is often told to “follow the science.” Excellent advice.

But are public officials actually doing just that? The conflicting messages make you wonder. Take the recent exchange between Sen. Rand Paul and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s premier public health expert. Fauci, who is vaccinated, showed up at a Senate hearing wearing two masks. He then recommended that people continue to wear masks after their vaccination. Paul, who is a medical doctor, asked if Fauci could cite any scientific study to support that recommendation. He provided none.
